Gardeners' Notes:

Bauhinia davricata grows at a medium pace, does like fertilizer,
and eventually reaches a large size of 30 or more feet. The trunk is grayish, deeply grooved and supports lichens in many cases. The branches knarl and corkscrew in some cases, giving it a very unusual appearance. It will grow vine-like if it is not trained,
and will need some support the first few years of it's life in order to attain a standard shape. The tiny flowers are mixed purple with white, whisp-like and fanning outwards. After flowers die, small bean pods follow. They will turn brown and dry when ripe, only then can you pick the pods for removal of seeds. The leaves are deeply forked, and have the familiar appearance that ascertains all bauhinia, the cow hoof shape.
